Progress is the absence of peace as it is discontentment.

The schemes of man is why there is no peace for schemes are the grasping for control. Man trying to make the world a paradise is why it is in conflict.
You seem to want to counter for countering sake but is so blind to reality.

Yours is a strawman.
I reminded you that the idea of perpetual peace is a guide and a tool to motivate progress towards greater peace.
I did not imply man is trying to make the world a paradise [heaven on Earth] but 'peace' [harmony] and toward the ideal of perpetual peace.
"peace = a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended; tranquillity, freedom from disturbance." {google dict.}

From a personal perspective, you appear that you don't want to ensure there are no murderers, rapists, violent terrorists within your nearest vicinity or no bombs to be dropped on your house and neighborhood like what is going in Gaza and elsewhere?

Striving towards the ideal of perpetual peace is based on a holistic and foolproof approach, i.e. no potential for greater conflicts but lesser and lesser conflicts.
I am far from blind, I have seen countless men and women force their version of peace onto the world only for it to be consumed by conflict. You think you are on some special vital mission unknowing that the people you conflict with are of the same desire. Peace is the word that tears people apart. It is akin to madness as there are so many contradicting versions that the mere utterance of the word is a self diagnosed form of schizophrenia.

It is because of peace that there are criminals for the criminals do what gives them peace and one version of peace conflicts with another. You are ignorant of human nature if you think a metaphorical pure white light gives everyone peace when the stark reality is that some find coherency in a black bottomless pit where all things are just gone...including the mind.

I have interned in a correctional facility and sheriff's department for my degree in criminal justice, knew people who did real exorcisms, been in quite a few physical confrontations where fighting was unavoidable, worked with the homeless and mentally ill, that where either violent or suicidal, and can speak from personal experience alot of people do not want any version of peace but there own and this often times conflicts with other people's versions of it.

You live in a fantasy world to justify a desperately needed purpose life is not giving you.

Conflict is the nature of the world and you are ignorant in seeing that half the time in this forum you cause the conflict you hypocritically preach against.

Rather than look for peace people should embrace conflict like a friend, then there will be peace. You are trying to rewrite the world into something that is not in its nature by cutting off the part of the human condition that just does not want peace.
You are still strawmanning.
If you cannot get it, ask AI to help by showing it the whole conversation, not cherry picking or summarizing the conversation. You might learn something.

Hardly. I am talking from experience and philosophy is grounded in all forms of experience.

Your over dependence on the AI is your own fault. The AI is input sensitive and as such, and I have proven this in the AI discussion thread, you can get it to support paradoxes.

The paradox of peace is this: peace is the embracing of conflict. You cannot have peace without conflict otherwise peace is indistinct and meaningless. You forget Taoist philosophy.

As I suggested you should consult AI. However, with AI it is GIGO, so it depend on your philosophical maturity in presenting the right questions.

I already have the answers, but I'll let AI present the answers [after some preliminary discussions]

Yes, the whole issue can be framed as epistemological and moral, rather than constitutive ontology.
This allows us to avoid the mistaken expectation that perpetual peace requires the perpetual existence of actual wars, terror, violence, and evil.

1. Peace as an Epistemological and Moral Concept, Not an Ontological Necessity
Epistemologically, "conflict" does not need to be understood as a fundamental reality of the world (constitutive ontology), but rather as a human conceptual and moral problem to be addressed.
Morally, the goal is to eliminate real-world destructive conflicts while still allowing for conceptual, ideological, and intellectual tensions to persist as drivers of progress.
If we say that "peace requires conflict" as an ontological necessity, we are committing to a metaphysical determinism that makes perpetual peace impossible.
Instead, by treating peace as a regulative epistemic ideal, we recognize that our understanding of peace evolves through overcoming conflict—without requiring actual wars or violence.

2. No Need for Real-World Conflict—Only the Continuous Resolution of Differences
The Hegelian dialectic does not require wars or destruction, only an ongoing process of reconciliation between opposing perspectives.
The Yin-Yang cycle does not mandate suffering; it reflects the dynamic nature of human societies, where stability and change coexist in a structured way.
Kant’s regulative ideal of perpetual peace guides moral and political progress without presupposing that war must always exist.
Thus, while disagreements, frictions, and challenges will always exist epistemologically, they do not need to manifest as ontological realities in the form of physical wars or violence.
The focus shifts to moral and intellectual progress—resolving disputes through reason, diplomacy, and ethical deliberation, rather than force.

3. Perpetual Peace as a Rational-Moral Commitment, Not a Physical State of the World
Humanity should strive toward a world where actual war, terrorism, and violence are no longer present.
The moral imperative is to ensure that all disputes, challenges, and tensions are resolved peacefully and rationally—without resorting to evil acts.
Conflict, in the epistemic sense, can persist as discourse, debate, and moral learning—but without the ontological necessity of violence.

Conclusion: Perpetual Peace Without Perpetual War
By distinguishing epistemological/moral conflict from ontological/physical conflict, we resolve the paradox.
Perpetual peace is not about removing all differences but about ensuring that human disagreements are resolved without destructive conflict.

Thus, perpetual peace remains a meaningful ideal, achievable not by eliminating all forms of tension, but by transforming conflict into rational cooperation—without war, terror, or violence.

You should not be paralyzed by paradoxes, they are merely use tools to motivate real progressive actions.

Anymore objections or counters, the more the better.

I would hardly call a paradox paralyzing rather it is the human experience that gives input to the AI you place a conflate sense of emphasis on. All things are transitional, including the peace you place such a high emphasis on and this peace is a paradox as well considering it is only definite by contrast to tragedy...they both create eachother. This is taoism, and try solving that paradox with an AI.

At the end of your day, whatever reasoning you ground your moral frameworks on is subject to the Munchausseen trilemma.

I don't need to solve the paradox in Taoism with AI which is resolved with the concept of complementariness.
The parodoxes of Taoism or in Zen Koans are merely apparent from one perspective, but to insist they are absolute paradoxical is delusional.

Btw, from my perspective, reality, ALL-there-is, that whatever [including Munchausseen trilemma] is grounded on the human condition as per Kant's Copernican Revolution. This perspective can easily be justified.

Good than if all is complimentary than peace requires tragedy and your vision negates itself as one cannot exist on the other. There is no perpetual peace or perpetual tragedy and this complimentary nature means your ideal peace is but a paradox.

If all is grounded on the human condition you seem to rely on AI too much...as if you cannot think for yourself.

Your thinking has gone haywire.
You sound as if, for you to live, you must be dead.
You need to think wider and deeper.

Other than cheating, deception and other evil purposes, there should not be a limit to AI, I believer everyone must use AI optimally to advance one's own knowledge and skills relative to one's current standard.

A kindergarten child can use AI for kindi level questions or more advance questions and a PhD can use AI for his purpose optimally.
